The deck in the back yard was all pressure treated lumber, 12 feet deep, 14 feet wide. This was fine for a smaller table but a standard 3 foot x 5 foot table with chairs just about took up the whole thing. You can squeeze 6 in one of those tables, but its a little tight, and if we're grilling and chilling outside, I'd rather not be on top of everyone. So we were thinking of 2 things - getting a bigger outdoor table and expanding the deck to accommodate it. Here is the deck v1.0:

Deck expansion
Another project that we didn't do!

So the original deck only had 1 set of stairs, heading out to the back yard. As the new deck is going along the house, we're going to be much closer to the driveway. A second set of stairs was installed to make it easy to get in the house via the back door. Here's a mid-process and an 'after' pic. We're lovin' it (and so is a very young Barkley)!
